10 Insane Ancient Achievements That Science Can’t Explain

10 Insane Ancient Achievements That Science Can’t Explain

Out-of-place
artifact (OOPArt) is a term coined by American naturalist and cryptozoologist Ivan T. Sanderson
for an object of historical, archaeological, or paleontological interest found
in a very unusual or seemingly impossible context that could challenge
conventional historical chronology. The term “out-of-place artifact” is rarely
used by mainstream historians or scientists. Its use is largely confined to
cryptozoologists, proponents of ancient astronaut theories, and paranormal
enthusiasts….

In this
article we present our selection of Top 10 OOPArts. There are many more (you
can find them by exploring our website).

Tiwanaku (Spanish: Tiahuanaco
and Tiahuanacu) is an important Pre-Columbian archaeological
site
in western Bolivia, South America. Pumapunku also called “Puma Pumku” or “Puma Puncu”, is
part of a large temple complex or monument group that is part of the
Tiwanaku. Tiahuanaco is an example of engineering so monumental
that it dwarfs even the work of the Aztecs. Stone blocks on the site weigh many
tons. They bear no chisel
marks, so the means by which they were shaped remains a
mystery. The stone itself came from two different quarries. One
supplied sandstone and was situated 10 miles away. It shows signs of having
produced blocks weighing up to 400 tons. The other supplied andesite and was
located 50 miles away, raising the question of how the enormous blocks were
transported in an age before the horse was domesticated in South America. Close
examination of the structures shows an unusual technique behind their
building. The stone blocks were notched, then fitted together
so that they interlocked in three dimensions. The result was buildings strong
enough to withstand earthquakes.

Puma Punku site has many finely
cut stones – some weighing over 100 tonnes. The processes and
technologies involved in the creation of these temples are still not fully
understood by modern scholars. Read

The high
desert of Peru holds one of the most mystifying monuments of the known world — the massive-scale
geoglyphs known as the Nazca Lines.
The “lines” are ranging from geometric patterns to “drawings” of different
animals and stylized human-like forms.

The ancient
lines can only be truly taken in, their forms discerned, from high in the air,
leaving generations mystified as to how these precise works could’ve been
completed long before the documented invention of human flight. Who built them
and what was their purpose? Are the lines signs left by an alien race? Ancient
“crop circles”? Landing strips for alien gods/astronauts? Relics of
a ancient people far more advanced—capable of human flight—then previously
imagined? Or perhaps a giant astronomical calendar? Read More >>

Sacsayhuamán
(also known as Sacsahuaman) is a walled complex near the old city of Cusco, at an altitude of
3,701 m. or 12,000 feet. The site is part of the City of Cuzco, which was added
to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1983.

Giant walls of Sacsayhuaman

They are
three parallel walls built in different levels
with lime-stones of enormous sizes. Zigzagging walls are made of boulders used for the first
or lower levels are the
biggest; there is one that is 8.5 m high (28 ft.) and weights about 140 metric
tons. Those boulders classify the walls as being of cyclopean or megalithic
architecture. There are no other walls like these. They are different
from Stonehenge, different from the Pyramids
of the Egyptians and the Maya, different from any of the other ancient
monolithic stone-works. Scientists are not certain how these huge stones
were transported and processed to fit so perfectly that no blade of grass or
steel can slide between them. There is no mortar. The stones often join
in complex and irregular surfaces that would appear to be a nightmare for the
stonemason. Read more >>

Stonehenge
is a megalithic monument on the Salisbury Plain in Southern England, composed mainly of
thirty upright stones (sarsens, each over ten feet tall and weighing 26 tons),
aligned in a circle, with thirty lintels (6 tons each) perched horizontally
atop the sarsens in a continuous circle. There is also an inner circle composed
of similar stones, also constructed in post-and-lintel fashion.

Stonehenge
is angled such that on the equinoxes and the solstices, the sun rising over the
horizon appears to be perfectly placed between gaps in the megaliths. This is
doubtless not an accident, and probably contributed to the stories of its
mysterious origins.

Gerald
Hawkins, a Professor of Astronomy, concluded that Stonehenge was a
sophisticated astronomical observatory designed to predict eclipses (Stonehenge
Decoded). The positioning of
the stones provides a wealth of information,
as does the choice of the site itself. If you can see the alignment, general
relationship, and the use of these stones then you will know the reason for the
construction. The author, and other astronomers, discovered the 56-year cycle
of eclipses by decoding Stonehenge! The movement of stones once each year
from an initial fixed position allows to predict accurately every important
lunar event for hundreds of years. This computer would need resetting about
once every 300 years by advancing the stones by one space. Mankind generally
used the cycle of the moon as a unit of timekeeping.

One of the
strangest mysteries in archaeology was discovered in the Diquis Delta of Costa Rica. Since the 1930s,
hundreds of stone balls have been documented, ranging in size from a few
centimetres to over two meters in diameter. Some weigh 16 tons. Almost all of
them are made of granodiorite, a hard, igneous stone. These objects are
monolithic sculptures made by human hands. Read More >>

The
mysterious ruins of Baalbek. One of the great Power Places of the ancient world. For
thousands of years its secrets have been shrouded in darkness, or bathed in an
artificial light by those who would offer us a simplistic solution to its mysteries.

The Temple
of Jupiter is one of the most impressive Temples in Baalbeck. It measures 88×48
meters and stands on a podium 13 meters above the surrounding terrain and 7
meters above the courtyard. It is reached by a monumental stairway. One of the
most amazing engineering achievements is the Podium which was built with some
of the largest stone blocks ever hewn. On the west side of the podium is the
“Trilithon”, a celebrated group of three enormous stones weighing about 800
tons each.

Some
archaeologists might well wish that Baalbek had been buried forever. For it is
here that we find the largest dressed stone block in the world – the infamous
Stone of the South, lying in its quarry just ten minutes walk from the temple
acropolis. This huge stone weighs approximately 1,000 tons – almost as heavy as
three Boeing 747 aircraft.

The Great
Pyramid of Giza (also called the Khufu’s Pyramid, Pyramid of Khufu, and Pyramid of
Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in
the Giza Necropolis bordering what is now Cairo, Egypt, and is
the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World that survives
substantially intact. It is believed the pyramid was built as a tomb for Fourth
dynasty Egyptian King Khufu (Cheops in Greek) and constructed over a 20 year
period concluding around 2560 BC. The Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made
structure in the world for over 3,800 years.

Originally
the Great Pyramid was covered by casing stones that formed a smooth outer
surface, and what is seen today is the underlying core structure. Some of the
casing stones that once covered the structure can still be seen around the base. There have been varying
scientific and alternative theories regarding the Great Pyramid’s construction
techniques. Most accepted construction theories are based on the idea that it
was built by moving huge stones from a quarry and dragging and lifting them
into place.

The Shroud
of Turin is reputedly Christ’s burial cloth. It has been a religious relic since the
Middle Ages. To believers it was divine proof the Christ was resurrected from
the grave, to doubters it was evidence of human gullibility and one of the
greatest hoaxes in the history of art. No one has been able to prove that it is
the burial cloth of Jesus of Nazareth, but its haunting image of a man’s
wounded body is proof enough for true believers.

The Shroud
of Turin, as seen by the naked eye, is a negative image of a man with his hands
folded. The linen is 14 feet, 3 inches long and 3 feet, 7 inches
wide. The shroud bears the image of a man with wounds similar to those
suffered by Jesus.

One theory
is simply that the Shroud is a painting . It has been proposed that it was
painted using iron oxide in an animal protein binder. The STURP scientists have concluded from their studies that no paints,
pigments, dyes or stains have been found to make up the visible image. Could
the image have been produced by a burst of radiation
(heat or light) acting over short period of time which would have scorched the
cloth? Scientists have not been able to duplicate the characteristics of the
Shroud using this method just like the painting hypothesis. Also the color and
ultraviolet characteristics of the Shroud body image and a scorch are
different. The shroud body image does not fluoresce under UV light but scorches
like the burns from 1532 do fluoresce under UV light. Thus many scientists rule
out the radiation theory. Read More

forgery produced using a heated metal statue. Religion is a region with a li(e)

9.Star Child Skull

In the
1930?s, in a small rural village 100 miles southwest of Chihuahua, Mexico, at the back
of a mine tunnel, two mysterious remains were found: a complete human skeleton
and a smaller, malformed skeleton. In late February of 1999, Lloyd Pye was
first shown the Starchild skull by its owners. Nameless then, it was a highly
anomalous skull.

Front view of the Starchild skull (on the
left) and the human skull (on the right). Compare striking differences between
depth of eye sockets and shape of temporal area just behind outer edges of
eyes.

The
long-standing Star Being legends of Central and South America provide a plausible
mechanism for how a highly abnormal skull (relative to humans) might have been
biologically created rather than genetically or congenitally malformed, or
physically manipulated by deliberate deformation (binding).
Such immense deformation across the entire occipital (rear) and parietal (upper
side) areas of the skull could not result from binding without deformation
being visible in the frontal area, which is not evident.
Birth defects across the entire occipital and parietal areas, while not
impossible, seem highly unlikely because of the remarkable symmetry exhibited
in all areas of the skull, including those effected by the deformations.
The terrain of the bone in the eye sockets contains incredibly subtle
indentations and ridges that are perfectly symmetrical in both sockets, which
simply have to have been formed by genetic directions rather than by
deformations.
